Twitter tools

Twitter has a lot of great tools that help with managing your twitter account. One of my favorite ones that i have used in the past and got like 10,000 followers is tweepi.com, this site makes it easy to select followers who are sure to follow you back and to sort through the ones that don't. When you sign into tweepi using twitter make sure you select the free good old tweepi, so that way you have a chance to try it out first. After you click on follow enter in a role model that has a lot of friends so you can pick up some of their audience. In the column area where it says follow and unfollow to the top right click on tweepi presets, make sure your setting is on higher followers to following ratio ( this helps you sort out those who are likely to follow you back). To get the best success rate only follow those who have a 85% to 105% ratio. Pick up at least 100 followers a day then at the end of the week if they are not following you back then basically flush them and you will want to repeat; after a month you are sure to have 10,000 followers. This is a great method and i cant find the link to whom i found this from, but from all of the research this is a great free method that works for me and hopefully will work for you to. I just want to add that this is a way to market and get your name out there soon enough you will get the readers that you have been waiting for.

Email Marketing

If you are creative and love making campaigns for marketing then email marketing is a way that could make you a lot of money. Thats actually how Anthony Morrison made his first million. You can also use this method to market your own product. We know it can work, but you have to get the basics right. The basics of building a list of people who want to hear from you, crafting a message, and ensuring the emails get through to those on that list. This isn't for everyone though. So if you are interested in email marketing i would do my research first to ensure your emails meet legal requirements. There is also software and services that offer features, tools and templates that help. All this comes at a cost of course, you might have to pay as much as $10 a month for a web-based service or $100 for software. If i were to start e-mail marketing out of the research i gathered, i would use AWeber or Mailchimp, because they are inexpensive. AWeber is affordable and provides everything for you to get started. It is only $1 the first month then $19/mo . Mailchimp i have personally used for newsletters and is free to use. I hope this helps you guys good luck and remember you need your email list before you get started.

Search Engine addons

There are a lot of different ones so i would look around to see which one is specific for you.

Marketing your Blog

Now that you have your blog you need to let other people know that it is out there. First create a twitter account if you don't already have one. Find people to follow that you share the same interest in, sometimes they follow back its ok if they don't, right now you are just putting yourself out there. Make sure on twitter that you keep updating your followers of new posts, or you can just talk about your content. Next go to other bloggers that are talking about the same thing and follow there blog and sometimes they will follow back. Make sure you get yourself out there on other blogs and engage in conversation. Share what you know and sometimes their viewers might just follow you to. These two ways i found to be the best for me, there also is facebook, linkedin, and myspace that you can use to find people that share the same interest that you have on your blog. Good luck and let me know if you need any help.

Creating a blog

The good thing about blogging is that it is basically free. The top two that i like is blogger and wordpress. If you want a simple and easy way to create your blog then blogger is right for you. If you want a more professional blog where you can have a .com after your URL name then wordpress is the way to go. Wordpress is basically free but if you want to later have .com at the end of your URL then it cost money and i don't think it is to much. Blogging is a great way to promote and talk about your product. If you are looking for a free way to promote your affiliate marketing links then a blog may not be your best option at least if you are just starting out. What i have learned with blogging is just to be yourself plain and simple. I love to read other people's blogs everyday and it actually feels like i get to know them, and that i can trust what they have to say. That is what viewers are looking for when they come to a specific blog. First and foremost please and i cant stress this enough please make sure that your content is yours and not copied from someone else. Having a blog is great for sharing what you are passionate about with other people that share the same passion. Starting out in affiliate marketing one of the first things to do is make your foundation that is creating a blog.

Beginners in Affiliate Marketing

If you are a beginner and you have no idea where to start or if you are not sure what would be right for you. Whether if it is making campaign ads on social media or blogging, you need to know your stuff. That means research and lots of it! A great resource for me is the library surprisingly there is a lot of books you can check out that have a lot of good information that will be useful. You can check up to 20 books and for free, that is another reason why the library is a good research tool. Even if you have certain content on your website you can check books out that is relevant to what you have on your blog or whatever it is you are doing. If you think you already have all the answers there is always more to be learned. There is also  a lot of ebooks out there you can download for free it is just a little harder to find. I would suggest to start out with the free ebooks first before you are looking to buy them. Remember if you are a beginner in affiliate marketing there is a lot to do on the internet to make money, and there is a lot of wrong ways to. So please don't look around for things to invest in yet that is going to make you money. When you start off in this crazy rat race of an industry you want to do it right the first time. YOUTUBE is a great tool for research in affiliate marketing. I have spent a lot of time going from one channel to the next finding a lot of good information. You can pretty much find anything on how to make something or reviews on a product before you buy it.  I also use Google a lot for searching for information. I have come across a lot of affiliate marketing blogs, and i mean there are a lot. The internet is limitless and basically when it comes down to it there are many many ways to make money online.

Lisa3876's Channel

After coming to the conclusion that ad campaigns on social media was not for me I found a lot of good information on youtube. This one affiliate marketer really stood out to me lisa3876 she has been in the field for more then a few years and really knows her stuff, pretty much she tells it like it is. Its really hard to find affiliate marketers who are legitimate and who aren't just scamming you to make money. I learned in this type of industry that there is a lot of false advertising from affiliate marketers and its hard to know who is really telling the truth. Lisa not only explains to you everything that did not work for her but also what she did that helped her business become successful.  She really knows her stuff when it comes to creating a website and getting traffic. I know that when i am ready to create my website i will be using her methods. After the Anthony Morrison seminar i found Lisa's videos on youtube and i am so happy i did because she really helped me put everything into perspective.
